Frankly, this is the first thing that turned me onto SMGL and is the only
reason I use devel. However, I find the current division of
devel/test/stable to not suit my needs. The reason why is I like mission
critical apps (ex: Gnome) to be stable, and less mission-critial ones (ex:
MPlayer) to be state-of-the art. There's no easy automatic way to do this.

Back to the subject at hand, since I want most of my apps to be totally
state-of-the art I'm currently using devel (and cringing whenever I attempt
an update to important apps) and hope to retain access to the latest spells
for the latest apps in the future.
